The City Council reviewed five matters.
After discussing the feasibility of a summer watering credit on
wastewater bills, Councilmembers Collins and Pierson requested that
the matter be placed on a future City Council Agenda for formal
consideration. The Administration indicated the matter would be
scheduled in conjunction with a review of wastewater rates so they
can be considered simultaneously.
The City Council briefly discussed the Fire Year Police Department
Reorganization and Staffing Plan, and agreed that it was an internal
'planning document that did not need Council action.
A significant amount of time was invested in reviewing proposed
changes to the False Alarm Ordinance. By consensus, the City
Council indicated that the proposal to discontinue direct connection
burglar alarms should not be pursued. The Councilmembers did agree
that the Administration should proceed with a formal ordinance to
Council and that it should include false fire alarms.
By consensus, the City Council indicated that no formal action
should be scheduled on the City's Comprehensive Plan and that the
current service level for commercial waste collection should be
continued.
The meeting adjourned at 9:05 p.m.
